Palagruža is Croatia’s most remote island from the mainland.
It lies almost in the very middle of the Adriatic Sea, between Italy and Croatia.
This is a destination that carries the archetype of the open sea—a “stone in the ocean” where everything feels larger: the waves, the winds, the horizon, the stars, the silence.
Palagruža is:
- an island of steep slopes, wild cliffs, and powerful marine energy
- difficult to reach, accessible only in ideal weather conditions
- crowned by the imposing Palagruža Lighthouse (built in 1875), one of the best-known in Europe
This isn’t a classic tourist spot—it’s a place of expedition and maritime character.
Here the sea has a different colour and energy, because this is where the Adriatic is at its deepest and most open. The underwater world has been exceptionally rich in fish for centuries, and fishermen have long regarded Palagruža as a “sacred” fishing ground.
Who is Palagruža for?
- adventurers
- diving expeditions
- fishing and nature enthusiasts
- photographers chasing extreme natural aesthetics
- anyone who wants to stand on the true open sea
Palagruža is a mythic island of the open Adriatic—the farthest point of Croatia’s sea, where every look to the horizon feels like the beginning of the world.
